I have three little dogs (5-12lbs). I am planning to get the Countryman S and I am not sure what type of seats I should get. I was initially thinking just going with the standard leatherette but I realize those can get scratched up like leather can. Not sure what the leather and cloth combo is like. Is the gravity leather grainy? What about the lounge leather? Would love to get your feedback.

 

Hello Again;

I just answered your question about cargo nets.
I have lounge leather, and I use a seat cover that hooks over the head rests, it just lays on the seat and hangs over into the floor.
When I'm done it is washable, then I fold it up and put it in the lower level in the back.

 

Here is the link for the protective cover for the rear seat area of the car.

I've recently lost my dog so he never got to see my Countryman, however, the leatherette seats seem PERFECT for a dog. I'm not a leather person, but if I were the lounge leather seats seem bomber. The gravity leather is a bit soft. The cloth combo would be wonderful too, the material is very thick and tightly woven. For dogs I would say:

1. leatherette
2. cloth leather/combo
3. lounge leather
4. last resort gravity leather (with seat cover in back!)

for dogs

 

Woah.

Is there one that just covers the rear seat and not the back of the fronts or the floor?

 

If you have three dogs...get the leatherette...Why pay extra? Use the money on different options.

 

Leatherette and a poochstyle.com cover works for us.

Still debating if we should go leatherette or cloth on our next MINI.

 

So sorry about the loss of your dog. That is very hard to take. I love my animals, too, and that is the hardest part of having them....seeing them go. Take care.
